The note taking window is a popup window. When it is displayed, users cannot access any other window. The design was to let users jot down ideas quickly. In most cases, users want to close the notes when clicking the Save button. Technically, the note is not created and linked to the reference before the Save (and close) button is clicked. If a separate Save button is added, it iwll make things more complicated when the Cancel button is clicked. We will leave it like the way it is. As I mentioned, the "Insert Symbol" command will be added upon your request. Thanks, Paul
